Mortgage Reel - Keith Akada Reviews

Working with Keith and Blake was an incredible experience. From our very first meeting through the entire process, Keith made our experience as first time home-buyers easy to understand and navigate. He and his team were always responsive and available when we had questions, and they turned what we expected to be a stressful and intimidating process into something smooth and manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keith to anyone in need of his services - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with him and his team.

Keith was extremely communicative and skilled at explaining the loan process in a clear way, which made this process much easier and less daunting for first-time homebuyers. He checked in with us frequently, answered all our questions quickly and provided us with the tools to help us make informed decisions.

Was great working with Keith. He was very knowledgeable and gave us up to date information about the Seattle market and mortgage rates. He responded promptly to any of our questions and made the mortgage loan process easy. He also helped us navigate a real estate exchange that we found challenging, providing us with helpful referrals.

We were so lucky to be referred to Keith Akada as a mortgage broker in our recent home buying experience. He stood on the ready as we looked bid (and lost bids) on several homes over 3 years. Then we got one! Not only did the purchase go flawlessly with little fanfare, he helped us find an amazing real estate attorney to help negotiate a complicated reverse 1031 with a property in Texas. He's the best!

EXCELLENT AND BEYOND HELPFUL!!!!!! Keith not only answered my questions about the whole process, which I found confusing and confounding; he went beyond that to clarify his answers as many time as I needed him to. I recomment him highly!

Keith was an amazing resource during our first time home-buying process! He educated us on the market, answered all of our questions, and was patient as we slowly worked through our search. He went above and beyond during our closing process to ensure everything went smoothly. We would recommend Keith to anyone looking for a knowledgeable lender!

We are so glad we went with Keith and his team at The Mortgage Reel. Our realtor actually recommended a different lender but we decided to shop around a bit and Keith got us a better deal and more importantly: whenever we got off the phone with him, we felt like we understood what was going on. We closed on time without a problem (3.5 weeks) even though we only first contacted Keith a day before putting in the offer. His entire team was on top of everything every step of the way--every email and every phone call got an immediate response. We trust him and his team completely and have enthusiastically recommended them to absolutely everyone who we know.

I had a great experience working with Keith Akada during our home buying journey. He took the time to thoroughly educate us on the loan process, making sure we understood each step and felt confident in our decisions. As first-time buyers navigating a complex process, his guidance and clarity were incredibly valuable. Even though we ultimately went with a different option due to a better deal on a new construction property, Keith continued to support us by answering our questions and providing helpful insights along the way. His patience, professionalism, and willingness to help—regardless of the outcome—really stood out. I highly recommend Keith Akada to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely supportive mortgage broker.

Keith and his team are amazing. They made the lending process of my home purchase quick and easy. Being a first time home buyer, I didn’t know much. He was patient, informative, and very knowledgeable. He was able to get me a great rate, and we even closed days before our original closing date. I’d recommend him to anyone!

If you are exploring your options, I highly recommend speaking with Keith Akada. He is a genuinely nice person who gave me an incredible amount of guidance. He patiently explained a ton of details about the loans, the market, showed me how to calculate when it is feasible to buydown a loan, provided example pricing, and shared actionable steps for increasing my credit score. He also really knows the local neighborhoods, connected me with fantastic real estate agents, and explained how his process allows for much quicker closings compared to traditional institutions that usually take 30 days. His follow-up is top-notch, showing he really cares about helping people navigate the process.

Fantastic experience. I contacted Keith about a complex refinance for an investment property that had some unique zoning and title challenges. He was ready to talk the same day and quickly identified a path to a great rate, even matching a very competitive offer I'd found elsewhere. Keith was communicative throughout, going to bat for me during the credit and appraisal process to ensure we hit our goals. We closed right on time, and it was by far the smoothest mortgage experience I've had. I’ll definitely be back for my next deal!
